SSS Floral Hugs

Happy Saturday, crafty friends!
Here in Sydney Australia, it is a really hot summer during the Christmas season. No snow here! But, I don’t care about the weather, I just relaxed and made floral cards during this weekend. So happy!! :D

Today I have a couple of floral “Hugs” cards with the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set along with other SSS products.
I started by stamping flowers & leaves from the Beautiful Flowers 2 set on cream coloured paper panel using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink. I then coloured them with Altenew Artist Markers.
For the sentiment panel, I die cut 2.6 x 3.85 inches of stitched rectangle panel from cream card stock using the SSS Stitched Rectangles Panel dies. I added scored lines, stamped the sentiment from the Big Scripty Greetings set with VersaFine Onyx Black, and then gold heat embossed to the edges.
I mounted the floral panel on the same coloured cream card base using Glue Dots Permanent Tape Runner first, and then adhered the sentiment panel over the centre of the card front using foam tape. I added vellum butterfly die cuts on the card.

Here is another floral cards with the Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set. I stamped a large sized flower image on cream paper panel using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink, then coloured them with Altenew Artist Markers – these rainbow flowers make me so happy!!
For the sentiment, I used brand new “Thinking of you” word dies.
